    Anytime i bring him out for a run around hes eating grass like a sheep, loves buttercups if he sees them hes over in a flash. He eats cowsh**e too and when i catch him i tell him NO but he still has to do it. After i feed him his food after training he has to poo in the pen after ive cleaned it. The first stool is solid and then he walks while scuttering and its all over the place then. Im changing his food from this wkend onwards. Cant get solid stools at all, i thought it mite be the grass giving him runny poo.

    Change his gradually mixing it with original one for a few days. I think him ****ing after you clean the pen is prob just Murphy's law.

    After that is he licking the cow****e or Actually eating it like he is eating his food as for the grass I've yet to see a dog that doesn't eat some every now and then.

    Grass is to counter the acids in his stomach I wouldn worrie about it . I had a lurcher that use to do the same eat cow ****e I presumed it was for the same reasons never thought to ever ask

    As for ****e in the pen ! Spaniels tend to walk it into everything if left to , what food are you using

    He goes at the cowsh**e and licks up a bit then tears off and if he finds more hell have a taste of that.
    I had him on gain puppy and sapling first from day one and then switched to brillys puppy, im bought gain puppy and sapling again now, i cant remember if he was soft with this but il give it a go. id ofton give him a tin of tuna mixed with the nuts.
    Is the pro pac dear? i like to hear SOLID stools
